Emek Shaveh\u00a0demanded that criteria be established for budget allocations that may also apply to non-Jewish heritage sites. In response,\u00a0the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage claimed that the Heritage Department is entrusted solely with the conservation of Zionist heritage\u00a0<\/strong>\u25a0\u00a0Emek Shaveh and the Arab Culture Association: A \u201cHeritage Office\u201d may not disregard thousands of years of history and\u00a0regard\u00a0Zionism as the starting point for the past. Such discriminatory criteria are leading to the loss of thousands of years of history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arab scholars,\u00a0together with Emek Shaveh and the Arab Culture Association, petitioned the High Court of Justice last week against the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage\u2019s discriminatory policy in budgeting heritage sites. In the petition, organizations demanded the issuance of an order nisi to freeze the Ministry\u2019s call for proposals, which contains discriminatory criteria that excludes non-Jewish historical sites from qualifying for funding. The call for proposals requires sites to present their value in relation to a Zionist historical figure or to the historical and religious “sources”.<\/p>\n

In response to Emeh Shaveh\u2019s petition, the office\u2019s legal advisor claimed that \u201cthe Ministry was established with the aim of conserving the country\u2019s national and Zionist heritage.\u201d That is, according to the legal advisor, the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage is entrusted exclusively with the conservation of the country\u2019s Jewish-related heritage.<\/p>\n

Emek Shaveh\u2019s report\u00a0Selective Conservation<\/a>, indicates that the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage has never issued tenders for the development of non-Jewish heritage sites. Among the 150 sites included in the initial list of the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage\u2019s flagship \u201cLandmarks Program,\u201d no sites whatsoever reflect exclusively non-Jewish heritage.<\/p>\n

Emek Shaveh and the Arab Culture Association\u2019s response:\u00a0<\/strong>We live in a country rich in history and testimonies to different nations, cultures, and religions. It is the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage\u2019s responsibility to conserve and present these testimonies to the public. The Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage is not the \u201cMinistry of Zionist Heritage.\u201d The Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage has abandoned its responsibility to other nations and cultures that shaped the history of this country, as if they were not part of its history. Hundreds of sites in Israel that do not tell Jewish stories, are in grave physical condition that requires ongoing preservation and maintenance, so as to prevent their permanent disappearance from the landscape. The history of the country is eroding along with them. We are appealing to the court to stop institutionalized discrimination through discriminatory criteria put forth in calls for proposals. Residents of the country deserve to know the history of other nations that lived and live in Israel. Their heritage is part of our heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
